The Genius of Number Knitting and Why I Just Can't Stop!
Number Knitting is like an old friend, offering in a singular knitting method: a challenge, quiet insight, and soothing rhythm after a long day. As a very experienced knitter, I find the patterns in Number Knitting continuously interesting because of their ingenious construction. Some are top down, some or bottom up, some start at the bottom front, go up and over the shoulders, and end at the bottom back. There are even corner-to-corner (C2C) patterns for sweaters and afghans! Some shawls start at the center and work out. Some start at the outside and work in. The variety is endless. Yet, they can be knit without having to follow detailed line-by-line instructions.

Republishing Number Knitting
Since 2016, I have been working on the tasks required to republish "Number Knitting." It is a massive undertaking, taking much longer than I ever imagined it would, and is utilizing more of my graphic design, illustration and publishing skills that have ever been utilized on a single project in my 20+ year design career.
